That's all great for her and all. But is it really that hard to wait to have kids?

That's what happens when you are raised by abstinence-only culture. Things don't work that way in this day and people don't use protection... people get pregnant early. I grew up in po-dunk, USA and saw many classmates go through the exact same thing. Most girls are either married or raising their baby-daddies prodigy and most of the men went off into the military. It's really sad.

well its just because thats what older parents teach their kids and our culture defines the golden era of the 50's as something to strive for even now. it used to be that thats what you did. with wars and people living shorter lives, you had to start early.
Abstinence only sex ed was banned in AZ while i was still in school because it just was a waste of money. I remember instructors telling us things that make NO sense now. not just about sex but about human anatomy lol What we need to do is
1) make all contraceptives relatively cheap. Free condoms and plan B at Planned Parenthood places dont have a high success rate. Here, its embarrassing to go to PP. It's low class and the centers are nasty. I would love to get a big box of condoms for like..3 bucks. If I can get tampons for that cheap...I should be able to get high end condoms for that much too.
2) stop making movies that show teens having babies and everything working out. Thats mostly for me cause my mom had me at 15 and its not a bed of funny roses
3) Treat teens as if you KNOW they are having sex, but dont treat them like its weird. Young humans need preparation, thats why puppies hump. Its why monkeys have "play sex". Its practice is all. and lord knows practice makes perfect in that arena!! It just needs to be safer.
More teens arent makin it, more teens are OPEN about makin it!
on the Bristol note....this has to be the number 1 famous baby I could care less about haha
